President Barak Obama was livid at Syrian onslaught on its own people with
Chemical weapons; so much so that America was ready for a military strike on
Syria without UNSC approval, which was averted eventually with intervention of
Russian leader. However, successive US Presidents have generously provided
Military Aid to Pakistan. That was instrumental in creating the TALIBAN which
took over Afghanistan and gave sanctuary to Al Qaida leader for executing 9/11
that took over thousands of American lives in New York. Pakistan has also been
responsible for aiding and abating terrorism against India for over sixty years
that took almost million Indian lives. Why American establishment has so far
ignored such blatant act of terror, in spite of classic and patented Pakistani
duplicity? Adding insult to injury, American Govt. has just now released $1.6
billion USD to Pakistan as Military & Economic aid. Past experience of over
half century if any guide then a large chunk of all aid to Pakistan is
appropriated by Pakistan Military and also the same is routed to other Jihadi
elements in clandestine manner. These Jihadi elements run organized terrorist
campaign against India. Further, with each additional financial assistance
Pakistani Military is getting stronger and democratic institutions relatively
weaker; therefore, Pak Military lord over Pak foreign policy in South Asia and
Strategic interest of Pakistan much against its democratically elected Govt.
and its people. As a result of which Pakistani people are getting poorer and
its military much richer. There is confusion in the minds of ordinary
Pakistanis; if Pakistani Military mandate remains only to its territory or also
to its people and their supreme interest.
Pakistan
currently needs socio-economic aid only to revive its economy and strengthen
its democratic institutions and not Military Aid. American people must not
enhance their own ‘total debt’ while financing the military profligacy of Pakistan;
which is targeted against peace loving and innocent Indian citizens at Indian
Western Borders.
